Nicki Minaj finds it hard to trust friends

Singer Nicki Minaj is faced with a tough time trusting people and no longer knows who her friends are.
The 26-year-old rapper has started to doubt the motives of her pals since finding fame, and has no idea who she can or can’t trust anymore, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
‘I’m not a trusting person. I think it’s because I’ve had to deal with so many people letting me down,’ she said.
‘I’ve lost my peace of mind. I no longer know who’s my friend or my enemy. I don’t know if they’re calling me because they like me or because they want a photo op, and that’s not a good feeling. I’m always second-guessing everyone, trying to figure out, ‘Who is this person, and what do they want from me?” she added.

Sunny Deol readying for ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’ TV series

Sunny Deol is ready to cash in on the success of his home production “Yamla Pagla Deewana” — details are now being worked out for not just one but an ongoing series of films, as well as a television series based on the Deols’ characters in hit comedy.
Starring Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby Deol, the comedy directed by Samir Karnik did good business at the box office.
Contrary to rumours of a fall-out with the Deols, Karnik is not only going ahead with a sequel to “Yamla Pagla Deewana”, he has even cracked the idea for the sequel.
He immediately called Sunny who was as excited and told Karnik: “Yeh idea to pehle wale se bhi dhansoon hain (this idea is even more exciting than the first film).”
But there’s just one catch — Dharmendra, who has obtained a new lease of life with “Yamla Pagla Deewana”, has his own ideas on how to carry forward the story. Apparently he wants his character Dharam Singh to move to Canada with his wife (Nafisa Ali) where he tries his best to be a decent husband and a law-abiding citizen but can’t help reverting to his old crooked ways.
Karnik is okay with incorporating Dharamendra’s ideas into the sequel.
“Dharampaaji’s ideas sar-aankhon par. He is like my father. He says I am his third son. Sunny and Bobby are like my brothers. Of course, I will incorporate Dharampaaji’s ideas… I need to sit down with my writer Jasvinder Bhatt and work out the details. We should have the sequel rolling by the year-end,” said the director who is finally seeing success after eight years of struggle.

Salman Khan comes to Atul Agnihotri’s rescue

Bollywood star Salman Khan rescued brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri on the sets of “Bodygaurd” when actress Kareena Kapoor fell ill.
The star wasn’t required on sets on that particular day because his co-star Kareena’s solo portions were being filmed, but shooting came to a halt after the actress fell ill.
“The shooting had come to a halt since Kareena fell ill and Salman wasn’t expected till much later. A lot of time would have been wasted and nearly 200 people would have been left hanging if it weren’t for Salman’s quick thinking,” said a source.
In order to make it on time Salman took the same helicopter that had flown him to Jaipur that morning back to Pune.
Said Agnihotri: “Salman bhai saved a day’s shooting for us after Kareena fell ill and was advised two days’ bed rest. We were canning a song that day and so I didn’t have a supporting cast to fall back on. I requested Salman bhai to return early and he was back by the time we’d finished lunch. And we shot some solo portions with him.”

Lady Gaga to be godmother to Sir Elton John’s son?

Sir Elton John’s partner David Furnish has sparked rumours that Lady Gaga will be their son’s godmother.
Furnish let slip in a recent interview that the couple are lining up the eccentric singer to play an important role in the life of their two-month-old son Zachary, who was born on Christmas Day last year via a surrogate mother.
“We haven’t publicly confirmed that yet but your sources are very good! I prefer not to comment on it because we are going to make a statement about Godparents later on,” Contactmusic quoted him, as telling Canadian website macleans.ca when asked about the rumours.
John and Gaga struck up a friendship after performing together at the Grammy Awards last year, and Furnish further praised the singer for her broad-mindedness and personal connection to her fans.
“She’s all about inclusiveness and tolerance. She believes that you can be whoever you want to be and that we don’t have to live in a world of conformity and that we can all benefit from individuality,” said the film producer.
“That’s the best message in the world. The freedom to be who you are, do what you want and love who you want to love,” he added.
Furnish also explained how this message is what he feels makes Gaga an ideal role model for Zachary. (ANI)

Celebrities should support Bollywood’s Razzies: Cyrus Broacha

Cyrus Broacha, who will be the host of next month’s Golden Kela Awards that take a dig at failures in Bollywood just like Hollywood’s Razzies, is hoping that Hindi film celebrities will just have a good laugh and not feel insulted.
‘These awards are not meant to insult anyone. It is just a way to make it a laughter exercise, a therapy of sorts to forget about the failures and look at what went wrong with the movie and the act,’ Cyrus told IANS in an interview from Mumbai.
Based on Hollywood’s Golden Raspberry Awards that are a spoof on the Oscars, this is the third edition of the Golden Kela Awards and Cyrus admits it is in a nascent stage. But if celebrities attend the function, it will be a wonderful way of looking at failures in a humorous way, he said.
‘By giving these awards, we are not categorising you as a worst actor or director; it is just a funny way to look at things, analyse, laugh and then forget. One should accept the awards with sporty nature and we hope Bollywood actors will give us their support,’ he added.
The Golden Raspberry Awards were founded in 1981 and its popularity was gauged when Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock won the worst actress award in 2010 for ‘All About Steve’ and she accepted it as well. Interestingly, the following night Bullock won her first academy award for ‘The Blind Side’.
Though Bollywood also found a sport in Abhishek Bachchan, who came to the Golden Kela Awards last year and accepted the Dara Singh Award for his attempt to speak with an American accent in ‘Delhi 6'.
‘This proves that he is so secure that he accepted the award. And I am sure, once the awards gain popularity in India, it will be a big hit. There are other actors in Bollywood who have a great sense of humour and who won’t mind getting a Kela award,’ he said.
‘I think Shah Rukh Khan is also one of the actors with an excellent sense of humour and won’t mind collecting one,’ he added.
Cyrus, who soared on the popularity charts as an MTV VJ and his show ‘MTV Bakra’ made him a well-known face among all age groups, says there is a lot of hard work that goes into making the nomination list for the awards.
‘So many movies are released in a year that it’s not even funny. So many sank without a trace; so it’s just not a fun-fun concept. We should compliment the people who are behind these entire awards,’ he said.
The founder of these awards is Jatin Varma, and one can vote for the nominations online by logging on to www.goldenkela.com. The nominations are chosen by the internal jury of the award function and winner by people.
The function will take place in the capital March 12 and some of the actors nominated in the worst male actor category nominees are Imraan Khan (‘I Hate Luv Storys’, ‘Break Ke Baad’), Neil Nitin Mukesh (‘Lafangey Parindey’), John Abraham (‘Jhoota Hi Sahi’), Hrithik Roshan (‘Guzaarish’), Vivek Oberoi (‘Prince’) and Shah Rukh Khan (‘My Name Is Khan’).
And for the worst female actress category, the nominees are Sonam Kapoor (‘Aisha’), Deepika Padukone (‘Housefull’ and ‘Break Ke Baad’), Aishwarya Rai (‘Raavan’), Kareena Kapoor and Kajol (‘We Are Family’), Priyanka Chopra (‘Anjaana Anjaani’) and Pakhi Tyrewala (‘Jhootha Hi Sahi’).

Rabbit Hole Review

Film: “Rabbit Hole”; Director: John Cameron Mitchell; Cast: Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Miles Teller, Tammy Blanchard; Rating: **** – Brilliant, restrained take on coping with loss.
One of the most difficult things in life is to come to terms with the loss of someone very close. And the loss of a young child is especially difficult. To articulate the same visually requires great skills from a director and the actors. “Rabbit Hole” covers no new grounds in terms of story, but soars in this articulation of a quite, internal bereavement.
It has been eight months since Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie (Aaron Eckhart) have lost their four-year-old son Danny in a freak car accident. Though things seem normal on the surface, neither of them has come to terms with it. While Becca retreats into a shell and refuses to socialize or talk normally to anyone, Howie looks at videos of his son to come to terms with his grief.
Becca gets edgy with her pregnant sister Izzy (Tammy Blanchard) and mother Nat (Dianne Wiest), both of whom, despite their attempts, cannot reach her. Nat’s comparison with the loss of her own son only infuriates Becca further. Despite her edgy and nasty behaviour with everyone, the only one with whom she has a normal conversation is Jason, who had caused the accident that killed her son.
The brilliance of this otherwise cliched story is in its quiet moments and restrained performances from each one of its actors. Nicole Kidman excels in capturing the gnawing pain inside through her calm, but intense performance. An Oscar nomination for her is perfect.
Aaron Eckhart also outperforms himself as the husband trying to come to terms with both – the loss of a son and a wife unwilling to open up or begin something new.
“Rabbit Hole”, based on a Pulitzer Prize winning play by David Lindsay Abaire who has also written the screenplay, takes a sincere peek into the void that people find themselves in trying to cope with a magnanimous loss. And the message of the film, as Becca finds out, is that there may not be light at the end of the tunnel, but there’s flicker because though the pain may not go away, it can be lived.
Howie on the other hand discovers that something new has to begin to be able to live with the pain. Thus, there is no concrete resolution in the end, but these small rays of hope at the end of the rabbit hole make this honest film that much more appealing.

Asked if she felt confident Lindsay could prove she didn’t steal a 2,500- dollar necklace and violate her DUI probation, the Long Island stage mom faltered, reports the New York Daily News.
“I’m not convinced about anything,” she told George Stephanopoulos Friday morning. “The system is the system. I’m a firm believer in the system. Anything can happen, especially in that town.”

Derek Hough reportedly flew in to London this week to save his struggling relationship with Cheryl Cole.
The American dancer arrived late on Thursday after speaking to Cheryl’s mum Joan.
Hough has been concerned about the state of Cole’s feelings for him since she failed to reply to his Valentine’s Day message.
“He arranged the whole thing with Joan and she suggested speaking to Cheryl face to face,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.
“She said her daughter has been down and confused lately,” the source said.
According to pals, Dezza has been fretting that the Geordie is no longer interested in him.
He’s hoping the trip will help him figure out why things have fizzled out between them.

“He is going to have a heart-to-heart with her. He’s half dreading it as he doesn’t want to hear the worst. But part of him just needs to know where he stands,” the source added.

Billy Ray Cyrus shunned spotlight after pal Kurt Cobain’s death

American country star Billy Ray Cyrus was so devastated after the death of his friend Kurt Cobain that he shunned the limelight.

His death made the star realize he was too caught up in his own fame.
Cyrus and the rocker became friends after a chance meeting and they went on to bond over their young daughters, Miley Cyrus and Frances Bean, who were both born in 1992.
“That’s what we talked about, that we each had a little girl,” the Daily Star quoted Cyrus as telling GQ magazine.
The ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ hitmaker admits he was shocked to hear the news when Cobain died in 1994 from a gunshot wound to the head in an apparent suicide.
He cancelled a planned tour and retreated out of the spotlight to spend time with his family and mourn his friend.
Cobain’s death proved a turning point for Cyrus.
“There comes a point where you just got to step back. That’s how I ended up out here (at his Tennessee home),” the singer said.
“I stepped back. I was supposed to go and do another world tour. I said no. I cancelled my tour. Kurt Cobain had just died, and that really had an impact on me.
“He was one of those guys that became a friend to me that I never expected,” he added. (ANI)

‘Chastity Garter’ that texts cheating WAG’s husband or boyfriend!

London, Feb 14 – This Valentine’s Day men could gift their ladylove a slightly different gift – a Chastity Garter that sends them a text message if their girlfriend or wife tries to cheat on them.
The garter monitors rising pulse rate as well as surface moisture levels on the skin and when these apparent signals of sexual stimulation occur, a text message is sent to alert the woman’s husband or boyfriend.
What’s more, the woman can’t take off the garter without an automatic text message being sent.
The team behind the idea is Edward and Lucinda Hale, who came up with the idea after infidelity threatened their own relationship.
“A few years ago our relationship nearly fell apart when Lucinda cheated with another man. She told me how much she regretted it and wished there was a way of removing the temptation by making the act of straying impossible to go through with,” the Daily Mail quoted Mr Hale as saying.
“So we set about designing a product which would help us – and more importantly help millions of other couples around the world in need of extra reassurance that their wife or girlfriend is being chaste.”
Priced between 60 pounds and 75 pounds, the product was launched on BBC TV show Dragon’s Den last year.
The Chastity Garter has two designs – Chastity Lace and Chastity Silk. (ANI)
